IDW Publishing has announced its comics release schedule and three Star Trek comics are on the list.

The comics include Star Trek #36, Star Trek: Harlan Ellison’s City on the Edge of Forever #3, and Star Trek: New Visions #2: Time’s Echo.

In Star Trek #36, part two of The Q Gambit continues the story of the [Abrams-verse] Enterprise crew’s meeting with Q. In this tale, “the crew of the Enterprise [is] thrust into the future of their new timeline thanks to the mysterious being known as Q. But in this alternate reality, what has become of the space station once known as Deep Space Nine…and the man called Benjamin Sisko?”

Overseen by Roberto Orci, Star Trek #36 was written by Mike Johnson, and features art and cover by Tony Shasteen. The thirty-two page issue will sell for $3.99.

Star Trek: Harlan Ellison’s City on the Edge of Forever #3 continues Harlan Ellison‘s teleplay. In this issue, “stranded in the past of old Earth, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock search for the focal point that altered the timestream and changed everything about the universe they knew. And once they find her, they could find themselves foiled by a force even greater than the Guardians of Forever–love!”

Written by Ellison, Scott Tipton, and David Tipton; City on the Edge of Forever #3 features art by J.K. Woodward, and a cover by Juan Ortiz. The thirty-two page issue will sell for $3.99.

Star Trek: New Visions #2: Time’s Echo continues John Byrne‘s photonovel adventures. In this issue, “from the raging heart of the galaxy comes a message that summons the crew of the Starship: Enterprise on their most bizarre and dangerous mission. A message sent by their own captain…ten centuries earlier!”

Written by and featuring art and photo-manipulation by Byrne, Star Trek: New Visions #2: Time’s Echo is forty-eight pages in length, and will sell for $7.99.
